The Rolling Stones’ goats head soup will be released as multi-format and deluxe editions by universal music

Another prized jewel in the Rolling Stones’ unmatched catalogue is to be restored to its full glory and more, with the recent multi-format release of their 1973 classic Goats Head Soup.

The album will be available in multiple configurations, including four-disc CD and vinyl box set editions, with a treasure trove of unreleased studio and live material.

The reissue follows the huge success and acclaim for the Stones’ Living In A Ghost Town single and their universally-admired lockdown performance of You Can’t Always Get What You Want in Global Citizen’s April special One World: Together at Home.

The box set and deluxe CD and vinyl editions of Goats Head Soup will all feature 10 bonus tracks, which include alternate versions, outtakes and no fewer than three previously unheard tracks.

Stones devotees worldwide will be thrilled by the inclusion, on the box set and deluxe editions, of the previously unheard Scarlet, featuring guitar by Jimmy Page, and a third newly unveiled song, All The Rage.

The box set editions of Goats Head Soup will also include Brussels Affair, the 15-track live album recorded in a memorable show in Belgium, on the autumn 1973 tour that followed the album’s late August release.

Stephen Demorest in Circus said that the album “rushes and rambles with all the power and finesse that have become the signature of the hardworking band in performance.” Forty-seven years on, the expanded reissues of Goats Head Soup prove that’s still true, and then some.
